Works great! I have six of them and use every day.

I installed the switch with no problems. I was able to connect to the switch wifi, setup the connection to my router and install this app with no problems. Adding a second tablet or phone is automatically done once the app is installed. App has minor issues - you can rotate a switch icon so that it disappears. Despite that still 5 stars. Its great not having to go to the basement to turn on the light on the basement steps.

Connectivity to the light switches has become hit or miss. Not sure if it's the app or the hardware. Cool technology but doesn't work when I really need it to.

Love the app and use with outdoor landscape lighting systems but DESPERATELY need the ability to use astronomical timer for the "on" position and then be able to program the exact time for the "off" position. This would complete this product for me. Thanks

The app is a little dated and slow, and the thought of someone being able to access it externally is unnerving, but it works and suits our desire to control switches remotely. Looking forward to any improvements!

I've installed 3 wion switches, so far. They help with Deco and Front porch lights. More installed are planned after Can. Thanksgiving. Easy to install and configure via android phone. Random timers will be great for vacations. I recommend these for DIY's .

The switch is so cool. The app is easy to use. I like that I can control many devices so I want to get another one for my christmas lights. I've had no issues with connectivity.

Works very well. It is not always intuitive to set up timers, but once you figure out how they work, they can do pretty much any combination you could want. See my review on Amazon for details.

Can not edit or delete timers

Y70%28/Oct/2016 by Y####:

Nice timer for my Router and Modem.

C70%28/Oct/2016 by C####:

I found it very difficult to get my phone to connect to this thru the internet/3G/4G. Cloud was enabled but it wasn't finding the outlet unless I was on WiFi at home. I finally got it to connect but I'm still not sure exactly what I did to make it work, or if the stars just aligned that time. More user instructions or a more robust app would be an improvement.

E70%28/Oct/2016 by E####:

While I love this app and what it does, there are some serious security issues. As previously stated in reviews anyone can control the device with the app locally but worse than that, the app transmits packets with the Wi-Fi password in plain hex. While reverse engineering the app to replicate the communications, I was not pleased to be looking at my password imbedded into a wireless packet. Please fix this issue or release a communication protocol so someone else can.

N70%28/Oct/2016 by N####:

App works great except it opened my phone to random pop up ads. That's annoying enough but the ads started popping while while my phone is ringing, interrupting my business. I'm deleting, I can't take it anymore.

Happy with all the different timers. Wish it came with a widget. App is also stuck in portrait mode, so works awkwardly on tablet.

X70%28/Oct/2016 by X####:

Happy that I can control it from the cloud. This way I can put the wifi plug on a password protected SSID by itself, away from the rest of my network, and still control it from my wifi or over the Internet.

P70%28/Oct/2016 by P####:

Keeps telling me my router password is incorrect when it is not! WPS Would be a huge improvement.

J70%17/Dec/2015 by J####:

Love this system except anyone who downloads this app and is on the same WiFi network can see and control your devices. This is a major security flaw. Woods, please fix asap! We want to use these for a business but that is the only thing holding us up. Also, please add more capacity to this app for controlling more wion devices.

Y70%17/Dec/2015 by Y####:

The Android back button always exits the app instead of returning to the previous activity. Secondly just a feature suggestion: add a countdown timer for when the power is pressed - great for a towel warmer that you'd want to run for an hour.
